The morning has come to me and the whole universe
belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, O Allah, I ask of you the good of
the day, it's success and aid and it's nur (celestial light) and barakaat
(blessings) and seek hidayah (guidance) and seek refuge from the evil in it
(this day) and from the evil of that which is to come later.

"Alhumdulillah. Indeed, all praise is due
to Allah. We praise Him and seek His Help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in
Allah from evils and our wrong doings. He whom Allah guides, no one can
misguide; and he whom He misguides, no one can guide."

"O Allah, send prayers upon Muhammad and
the followers of Muhammad, just as You sent prayers upon Ibraheem and upon the
followers of Ibraheem. Verily you are full of praise and majesty. O Allaah,
send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad, just as You sent
blessings upon Ibraheem and upon the family of Ibraheem. Verily, You are full
of praise and majesty." ( Al-Bukhari with Al-Fath)

Alif, Lam, Mim. (These are the names of three letters from
the Arabic alphabet, probably indicating that this inimitable Revelation, the
Qur'an, is made of this Arabic alphabet. Only Allah Knows their meaning here).

This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance
for those conscious of Allah -

Muhsin

This is the Book (the Quran), whereof there is no doubt, a
guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqun [the pious and righteous persons who fear
Allah much (abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has
forbidden) and love Allah much (perform all kinds of good deeds which He has
ordained)].

·Name is because of one story in the Surah it’s not
title to indicate the subject verse 67-93

·Many more Surahs of the Quran
have been named in the same way because no comprehensive words exist in Arabic
(in spite of its richness) to denote the wide scope of the subject discussed in
them. As a matter of fact all human languages suffer from the same limitation.

·In sequence its madni it follows
the naturally makki surah al fatiha which ended “show us the straight way” , it
begins with anser to that prayer “this is the book (that) is guidance…”

·Mostly revealed in first 2 years
of Nabi e Akram Muhammad SAWW but have inserted in this surah b/c content
closely related

·Smaller parts revealed in the
later years of Nabi SAWW

·Historically, in Makkah Quran
generally addressed Mushrik Quraish, b/c of ignorance to Islam but in Al
Madinah , the Jews aquainted with creed of the unity of Allah , prophethood,
revelation, the hereafter, and angels, they also professed to abide by the law
of Allah which was revealed to Prophet musa AH

, and in principle, their way was the same (Islam) that was being
taught by Prophet Muhammad (Allah's peace be upon him). But they had strayed
away from it during the centuries of degeneration and had adopted many
un-Islamic creeds, rites and customs of which there was no mention and for
which there was no sanction in the Torah. Not only this : they had tampered
with the Torah by inserting their own explanations and interpretations into its
text. They had distorted even that part of the Word of God which had remained
intact in their Scriptures and taken out of it the real spirit of true religion
and were now clinging to a lifeless frame of rituals. Consequently their
beliefs, their morals and their conduct had gone to the lowest depths of
degeneration. The pity is that they were not only satisfied with their
condition but loved to cling to it. Besides this, they had no intention or inclination
to accept any kind of reform. So they became bitter enemies of those who came
to teach them the Right Way and did their worst to defeat every such effort.
Though they were originally Muslims, they had swerved from the real Islam and
made innovations and alterations in it and had fallen victims to hair splitting
and sectarianism. They had forgotten and forsaken Allah and begun to serve
mammon. So much so that they had even given up their original name
"Muslim" and adopted the name "Jew" instead, and made
religion the sole monopoly of the children of Israel.

This was their religious condition when the Holy Prophet went to
Al-Madinah and invited the Jews to the true religion. That is why more than one
third of this Surah has been addressed to the children of Israel. A critical
review of their history, their moral degeneration and their religious
perversions has been made; side by side with this the high standard of morality
and the fundamental principles of the pure religion have been put forward in order
to bring out clearly the nature of the degeneration of the community of a
prophet when it goes astray and to draw clear lines of demarcation between real
piety and formalism, and the essentials and non-essentials of the true
religion.

At Makkah Islam was mainly concerned with the propagation of its
fundamental principles and the moral training of its followers. But after the
migration of the Holy Prophet to Al-Madinah, where Muslims had come to settle
from all over Arabia and where a tiny Islamic State had been set up with the
help of the Ansar (local supporters), naturally the Quran had to turn its
attention to the social, cultural, economic, political and legal problems as
well. This accounts for the difference between the themes of the surahs revealed
at Makkah and those at Al-Madinah. Accordingly about half of this Surah deals
with those principles and regulations which are essential for the integration
and solidarity of a community and for the solution of its problems.

When we love someone in our life, we really want to please them and keep them happy with us, so they can love us back too, Similarly but in a more Humbling and Servant sort of way, Allah SWT is our Creator He loves us like 70x more than our Mom so We should Love him too, as it is only benefit to us, He is Free from any need only We need Him SWT, and When we reach such a beautiful pious state of Imaan and Taqwa to Love , we would want to please him consequencely InshAllah Ta'ala May Allah SWT grant us to be of The Muttaqoon Ameen
